Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Cook the brownies according to the package directions in the oven. Keep the oven on after removing the brownies to toast the coconut.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast, stirring often, until the coconut is evenly browned and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Mix Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, combine the toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping, stirring until well mixed.
- Top Brownies: Evenly spoon the coconut and caramel mixture over the cooled brownies, spreading it out into an even layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag with a small snip at the corner, then drizzle it stylishly over the coconut topping.
- Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the caramel topping firms up and the chocolate drizzle sets, about 30 minutes to an hour.
- Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for a gooey, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Be careful not to burn the coconut while toasting; stir frequently and watch closely.
- Use a sharp knife chilled in warm water to cut clean slices without dragging the caramel.
- For extra texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the caramel layer before adding the chocolate drizzle.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
